Verdict
LADYLEYS BELUGA returned a clear winner in a maiden over course and distance last month and the runner-up has since boosted the form by winning. Karl Burke’s filly is fancied to defy a penalty with further progress on the cards. Sur Mer made a promising start when second over 6f here at the same meeting as the selection and should make a race of it but Garsman failed to win in five starts in Ireland though debuts for Mick Appleby’s yard.
